We present a genome assembly from an individual male Apoderus coryli (the hazel leaf roller; Arthropoda; Insecta; Coleoptera; Attelabidae). The sequence is 428 megabases in span. majority (98.90%) of the scaffolded into 20 chromosomal pseudomolecules, with X and Y sex chromosomes assembled.

We present a genome assembly from an individual male Lycaena phlaeas (the small copper; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Lycaenidae). The sequence is 420 megabases in span. whole of the scaffolded into 24 chromosomal pseudomolecules, with Z sex chromosome assembled. Gene annotation this on Ensembl has identified 12,147 protein coding genes.

In the Neotropical Region, information concerning hyporheic communities is virtually non-existent. We carried out a sampling survey in the hyporheic zone of the Tijuca River, in the Tijuca National Park, located in the urban area of the city of Rio de Janeiro. Biological samples from the hyporheic zone were collected in three different stream reaches, in June 2012. The main objectives were: 1) ...

Studies on color vision in invertebrates have focused primarily on insect visual pigments, with little attention given to crustacean visual pigments. None of the blue-green-, blue-, or ultraviolet (UV)-sensitive-opsins have been identified in crustaceans. In addition, the discussion of visual pigments has been limited to long-wavelength-sensitive opsins in Pancrustacea. Here, we focused on Bran...

During the Global Biodiversity Survey “Santo 2006” conducted in Espiritu Santo, Vanuatu, mayfl y larvae were collected in several streams of the island. This contribution deals with the larvae of Baetidae (Insecta: Ephemeroptera) that are represented by two species: Labiobaetis paradisus n. sp. and Cloeon sp. The presence of these two genera is not surprising as they both possess almost a world...

Insect mitochondrial genomes (mtDNA) are usually double helical and circular molecules containing 37 genes that are encoded on both strands. The arrangement of the genes is not constant for all species, and produces distinct gene orders (GOs) that have proven to be diagnostic in defining clades at different taxonomic levels. In general, it is believed that distinct taxa have a very low chance o...

Comparative microevolutionary studies of multiple parasites occurring on a single host species can help shed light on the processes underlying parasite diversification. We compared the phylogeographical histories, population genetic structures and population divergence times of three co-distributed and phylogenetically independent ectoparasitic insect species, including an amblyceran and an isc...

We present a genome assembly from an individual male Cosmia trapezina (dun-bar pinion; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Noctuidae). The sequence is 825 megabases in span. majority of the (99.87%) scaffolded into 32 chromosomal pseudomolecules with Z chromosome assembled. complete mitochondrial was also assembled and 15.4 kilobases length.

We present a genome assembly from an individual female Pieris rapae (the small white; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Pieridae). The sequence is 256 megabases in span. majority of the scaffolded into 26 chromosomal pseudomolecules, with W and Z sex chromosome assembled. Gene annotation this on Ensembl has identified 12,390 protein coding genes.
